Old Newspapers

Researchers often want to see primary documents, sources from the time something happened. Newspapers can do play this role nicely. For example, if you were researching the influenza epidemic of 1918, contemporary newspaper stories would be quite informative primary documents. Our History research guide and our Primary Source guides can help locate these sorts of resources. Some will be online, but others may be in microfilm on the ground floor, it just depends! Ask one of us for help if you aren't sure.

About Me

We use this blog to post about both our library and the wider world of libraries and information resources. We would love to hear from you, feel free to post a comment
Our blogger goes under the cyber identity of William Lennon. He was a science professor here 1869-1911, and took care of the library for part of that time. Now in his retirement we have him handling this blog for us ;-)
